So, yes, I have emailed the publisher about the 'free' bluray disc not working. But I want to be able to put the disc on my hard drive so Rebuilder (or Xvid4PSP) can be used to make copies I can use elsewhere besides my BD player. I can use BD Rebuilder on the passkey-decrypted disc. But Passkey says it has completed decrypting the disc and DVDFab still show the drive as empty. I can then use BD Rebuilder for the rest. That is all I want from DVDFab, to simply allow me to make 100% backups of the disc.

I was planning to buy the post-beta Passkey, since it would allow the free BD part of DVDFab to backup the Disc. I expected Passkey to fix this, since the disc should now appear as an unencrypted disc. (This is according to their own customer service, via email.) My problem is, it nevers sees ANY BD discs I place in it. So when the paid BD backup expired, it reverted to the free version, only seeing 1st gen discs. none of the other backup functions work (main movie, split, merge, etc.) The free version is nothing more than an unregistered version of the paid. THe difference between free and paid is free only does exact backups.

DVDFab Decrypter (the free version) is supposed to only see and copy the 1st generation of copy protected BD discs, or discs with no copy protection. So, my question is how do I copy the files to my hard drive and guarantee these files are now 100% ready to burn?Ģ. No where does it state a 'copy & paste' version on the hard drive will work. This is the two step process I call 'rip' that results in a decrypted copy on my hard drive. But it provides no method to move the decrypted files to the harddrive. Itwas a late night after a very long day. You seem to be talking about copying/backing up a BluRay disc - and you say:ġ) What is your definition of 'rip'? (My definition is 'decrypt and copy to harddrive' and/or burn to disc)Ģ) Why would you expect your (paid or trial?) version of DVDFab to 'see' the decrypted BluRay when you've already stated that it no longer works with BluRays?ģ) Have you emailed the publisher to voice your apparent multiple complaints? (I've checked at the MakeMKV Forum and, other than a couple of unrelated 'program won't start at all' problems, there have been no rewports ofr what you've post is confusing.

If this is not how v.1.5.1 works for you, I'd ask if you have, as you should not, either 'Passkey' or 'AnyDVD' running (foreground or background) at the same time? I've successfully used this procedure with v.1.51 for seven or eight BluRay discs now, including a couple of the latest releases with MKB16. The lower left displays ONLY 'MakeMKV v.1.5.1 beta win(圆4-release started' - and the 'Backup' icon is ACTIVE (Not greyed out). The mid-left displayed an icon of a BluRay disc with a green arrow pointing to the right, to a hard drive. Now, correctly using v.1.5.1, I did the following:ģ) In just a few seconds, the upper left portion of the MakeMKV window indicated the source drive and the disc 'Type', 'Label', and 'Protection'. I can make available the entire disc, the original and DVDFab-saved IFO, VTS, whatever.I just re-checked my procedures - and realized that I gave you the now-outdated workaround for an earlier version (Whoops - old man has egg on face >}). I'm very interested in getting this fixed because I prefer to archive as folder structures, not ISOs. Even if the ifo is in fact corrupt somehow, vlc has no difficulty with it. Now, I don't know if DVDFab is making a mistake here, but given that vlc can navigate the dvd menu correctly, while makemkv cannot, I suggest that this is a bug in makemkv. If I change DVDFab to create an ISO, makemkv finds all the titles when opening the iso. vlc also skips the copyright when playing from the actual disc.) (title 2 is the 35s copyright message - this is skipped by vlc for either setting of PP.

It starts at title 3 in the log output.Īlso for both of these cases, vlc does work and navigates the DVD menu and plays title 1 correctly. Whether I keep PathPlayer on, ie allow DVDFab to edit the IFO and first VTS, or turn PathPlayer off (which should copy the IFO and VTS as-is), in either case makemkv does not find the first title at all during its scan. It does this by rewriting the first VTS or something like that. I usually keep the PathPlayer option on, so DVDFab can scan and remove copyright and other startup messages. Just came across my first DVD that doesn't work correctly.
